wireless system

Untethered communication setup

A wireless system is any arrangement of devices that communicate without physical cables, using radio waves, infrared, or other electromagnetic signals.

The term covers everything from Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth connections to cellular infrastructure and satellite communications.

The building's wireless system handles both internet and security.

In older usage, wireless system referred specifically to radio telegraphy equipment.
